Needless to say, Pima got is act together and now shows up to class 5 minutes early. Never mess with your CS teacher. Ever.

Dude, next you're going to complain because "all your base" is ungrammatical, too! sam – It’s a reference to the cat macro phenomenon.

I remember using (and loving) Grammatik on my family's first computer, a 286. That was an amazing program. Anyways, fun story. The sound files could have been funnier but the implementation was good, what with removing the volume control. About MS Office finally getting grammar-aware spell checking: it’s about time.

You need a context-aware grammar checker, which eats a good amount of processing power. Even MS Office only added that in the 2007 rev. And it's good to see some skilled CS teachers for a change. Glad to hear it! sam – Actually, a spell check would not catch that. You need a context-aware grammar checker, which eats a good amount of processing power.
